Need some advice on seahorses

[G1GY]

I just got a pair of hybrid seahorses from Ryan at BA's. (Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Ray. ) I put them in a 14 gallon biocube with a purple firefish goby as the only tankmate.

I'm just leaving the cube at room temp and they seem to be doing great! Eating frozen mysis and the male is going to dump a bunch of fry any day now. I even have them eating from a brine net now. I put the net with shrimp in the tank and they either hitch on the net and eat or go right in the net and then come out when they've had their fill.

Also, my horses spend most of their days pod hunting. They move from place to place on the rock and just wait for a pod to come by. I'm just amazed how well they hunt concidering how slow they move. Actually, I've been amazed at just how fast they can get around when they want to.

I'm glad I picked up these guys and set up this cube. I've missed my reef since I shut it down.

If your hybrids are like mine, they are still pretty small.
Once they mature, you will need a larger tank.
The recommended size for a pair of normal sized seahorses is 29g.
Water quality is extremely important so be sure to keep up on tank husbandry and if any food finds it's way to the bottom uneaten, siphon it out.
You can put a fan(s) blowing on the tank to keep it a little cooler in warmer weather.
